A complete roster of active members. Active membership is defined as continual participation in club meetings, events, programs, and other activities, and should be determined as participation in at least 51% of the club’s activities.

Position-holders of President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Community Liaison for the following year.

Proxies for these position-holders may be accepted, if the club constitution stipulates that selection of these individuals does not occur until after the application is due.

The Club Renewal Application opens on February 1. It is due the second Monday in March at 11:59pm.

If a club is late in submitting their application without an extension from the Chair of BCB, that club shall have 10% deducted from their initial budget allocation.

Club Renewal Application extensions are granted only by the Chair of BCB.

After Club Renewal Applications have been received, BCB will review each application individually.

Preliminary application review and budget hearings take place prior to the conclusion of Short Term in the academic year in which applications were submitted.

On or about the first day of upperclass move-in for fall semester, the Office of Campus Life shares the previous academic year’s account data for each club with BCB. BCB uses this data to review the budget allocation requests in conjunction with the Checklist for Club Allocations.

BCB finalizes allocation recommendations based on submitted materials and data provided by Campus Life. They submit these recommendations to Campus Life for advisement and review by the first Friday in September.

Clubs less than 1.5 years old may receive a maximum initial allocation of $250.

Budget Hearings

Budget allocation hearings take place prior to the conclusion of Short Term.

BCB reviews with club leaders their expenditures for the previous academic year, their anticipated expenditures for the current academic year, and the club’s initial allocation for the current academic year.

All BCB members should be present at each budget hearing.

The hearing should function as a conversation between BCB and club leaders about the allocation. BCB members present should document the conversation and share notes with the Director of Campus Life.

If a club misses their hearing BCB is under no obligation to allocate funds.

If an club is late by five minutes or more to their budget hearing, the club shall forfeit 5% of their initial budget allocation.

Budget allocation decisions are sent to the President and Treasurer of each club in the first full week of the fall semester.

Clubs receive their initial budget allocation along with a justification of funding allocated.

Clubs that have not submitted a Club Renewal Application, or have no recorded transactions in their account for an entire academic year, may be deemed inactive by BCB and Campus Life.

A club deemed inactive has all funds currently in its account transferred to additional club funding and its account closed.

A club deemed inactive may re-apply for club status during the following fiscal year via the New Student Club Application.
